    Hello,

    How to get the option set value from an entity in crm 2011 , in windows application. I'm able to insert data into option set from windows application but when user changes option values in crm then again i have to change values in my windows application. So to avoid this, i want to get the contents of option set from crm only. So that when a user changes the option set values, it will be reflected in my application.

    patient["new_registrationtype"] = new OptionSetValue(osv.value);
    The above code shows how i'm inserting the data into option set. I have hard coded the values in combo box and when user selects an option i'll compare and send appropriate values to crm.

    Hi Madhu,

    You can use the 'RetrieveAttributeResponse' request:

    RetrieveAttributeRequest retrieveAttributeRequest = new RetrieveAttributeRequest
{
 EntityLogicalName = "<you entity logical name>",
 LogicalName = "<your attribute>",
 RetrieveAsIfPublished = true
};

// Execute the request.
RetrieveAttributeResponse retrieveAttributeResponse = (RetrieveAttributeResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute( retrieveAttributeRequest);

// Access the retrieved attribute.
PicklistAttributeMetadata retrievedPicklistAttributeMetadata = (PicklistAttributeMetadata) retrieveAttributeResponse.AttributeMetadata;

// Get the current options list for the retrieved attribute.
OptionMetadata[] optionList = retrievedPicklistAttributeMetadata.OptionSet.Options.ToArray();

    hth,
